oh. how can we help citizens become healthy and happy. 7th of july business program interactive exhibition. of a. teenage boy to be executed crucified over his involvement in an government when he was just 10 years old. coming off of the program. industry big. hollywood blockbusters. face the child. and its battle

against extremism we ask whether the issue is really. 247 used. to the world. international my names you know. our top story human rights organizations in the media are urging the saudi government not to execute a teenage boy for among other alleged crimes taking part in. some of the offenses go back to when he was just 10. over what they call a grossly trial. takes a look at why washington may have turned a blind eye. this is more courageous he is now 18 years old and on trial in

saudi arabia and this is him at the time of his alleged crime on a bike in his hometown and with 30 other children cycling around as part of an anti-government rally he was 10 years old with a job he spent the last 4 years in jail some of them and solitary confinement the saudi authorities say he's confessed but the teenager denies this claiming he was forced into an admission of guilt after hours of torture riyadh's decision to sentence him to death is on surprisingly not going down well ridiculous exercise or brutality of starvation state authoritarianism and other human rights abuse case the prosecutor in quite a racist case is not only calling for the death penalty but for his body to be crucified or dismembered afterwards here's a chain year old kid riding his bike and somehow this is a capital offense now you'd be forgiven if you're experiencing some deja vu with

all the indignation over lost his assassination of saudi john this jamal khashoggi the media allege the crown prince was complicit in his murder something the kingdom need to noise politicians called for immediate sanctions against riyadh and human rights groups blasted the kingdoms constant violations of well human rights but do you remember how it and did i call the game i like the king. i should get. the funding you can and you have a lot of money. yeah you guessed it minute 3 contracts to the tune of billions of dollars not of course for getting the millions of dollars of oil heading to american shores every day everything made perfect sense for trump and in fact it seems the case actually helped him dip into the saudi cause. they buy a lot from us $450000000000.00 that was you know you had people wanting to cut off

saudi arabia they bought $450000000000.00 i don't want to lose them out so why are we now on the one hand trumps administration has just all through a top american defense fund called raytheon to couple with the saudis and build bomb parts in saudi arabia on the other hand the fate of a minor facing the death penalty for challenging the saudi regime to be reigning in 2nd gas what's next there is no pretense anymore of it being moral and of the trump administration there you the us used to maybe it was worse when their prior administrations where they tried to pretend that what they were doing was the moral thing that's been very clear he brags about the deals he strikes you know selling arms to the saudis we you know just turn a blind eye to the atrocities and that say well you know it's real politik we support the arabia because they're on our side is really very honest that he

doesn't care about human lives the life of a show. or any other person on death row or any other person who's about to be executed by extra legal knees by the saudi royal family to experience these as look they buy a lot of weapons from us is slated to go loot media hype about these new gruesome executions i don't believe that the us government policy makers will change their orientation towards the radio whatsoever this is only sarah cash out for us that since contractors so you really is a strategic ally of israel in the me is the us control over that resource rich period called the middle east. or like to a picture perfect talon in germany now which is in the spotlight over the election of a new mayor the likely victory of a right wing counterfeit who has already won the 1st round of voting essential queens all the way to hollywood and as maria financial reports. welcome to

girly wood this is how this little german town of gurlitz at the border with poland is sometimes referred to with hollywood teams frequent guests here not surprisingly look around me having survived the allied bombing raids hain war to its old town has retained a special atmosphere making it a perfect location for historical and war drama as members of the national socialist party card you're among the blockbusters filmed here in glorious bastards and here and so in grand budapest hotel boy in training. but some no fear that this traditionally left leaning town is about to undergo an inglorious shift and become germany's 1st to vote in may or from the alternative for germany party the energy candidate sebastian vipul 36 year old police commissioner picked up 36.4 percent of the vote in the 1st round and he has

a serious chance of topping the candidates in the 2nd round runoff later this week now actors and directors both german and foreign are calling on locals here to avoid. the right don't give in to hate and hostility conflict and exclusion please vote wisely don't betray your convictions the moment someone claims to be able to solve problems for you and for their businesses i personally think it's a good thing that the c.d.u. was finally voted out it never was and never will be good while they are in power. i don't really know but i think the previous government made too many mistakes. and no i don't think it's right i think the people of gurlitz a smart enough to decide for themselves i think that imposing someone else's opinion or example from america is unacceptable. it's typical for artists because they think differently they can also voice their opinions we live in

a democratic country. everyone is free to express their thoughts so if they don't leave here then they shouldn't model in our local affairs we do not tell others what to do and i can't say anything specifically about the spot to. decide on its course so far they have no plan. i wouldn't choose the anyway there is field ready nevertheless the elections are democratic this is everyone through them they'll turn to for germany party candidate may be leading the polls right now but with 6 days to vote and the power of the film industry is elite now involved the mayor's race here ahead in this town has itself become big screen material life an ocean power to reporting from the town of gurlitz and it's in germany. in all the german foreign minister described tensions between iran and its adversaries as highly explosive and extremely serious musses comments come during an official

a month until and there really an imposed deadline for compliance with the nuclear deal expires in early may iran suspended some of its commitments under the accord and called on the other signatories to shield it from the impact of u.s. sanctions there or by honoring their commitments to iran has said that if nothing changes on the 7th of july it will resume high level your rhenium enrichment the head of the un's atomic watchdog confirmed on monday that iran has already accelerated its enrichment of the societal material. were over the past number of weeks the u.s. has bolstered its military presence in the persian gulf causing tensions with iran to soar it's also continuing to put a ments financial pressure on the rimi and leadership policy that donald trump has repeatedly phrase they're failing this illusion that every one of the floors of the ocean is going to go there remember which. but the sanctions are. extraordinary

how powerful that is. unless we've heard from told us that european signatories to the deal simply have not done enough to preserve it. of course the ukrainians are getting it. because they have respected their part of the. apparently until now so they stopped saying if nobody else we will go and start again richmond you're right no so dynasty is because of course at that moment the americans could feel justified to do something so europe should move quicker if europe has to have its. functioning to satisfy the arrangement and have some companies benefiting from it or benefiting from a to continue trading with european countries own. now. for about a year for europe to do something and they haven't done much. agreement

clear cut. you tube has again shuffled about it's hate speech and discrimination policy this follows a sidestep wark to some assaults and a back flip today we're taking another step in our hate speech policy by specifically prohibiting videos alleging that a group is superior in order to justify discrimination segregation or exclusion based on qualities like age gender race cars to religion sexual orientation or veteran status if that was any more vague it might as well have been fog me store a cloud happens it's really that vague videos alleging a group is superior gosh according to that statement the hammer of politically correct judgement is about to fall in later other adam a lovers that see dogs as superior to men. or in any way to saying

i'm allergic to dogs but i'd still choose allergies over another man in my life. was not i love my don't suppress that couldn't imagine my life without my has was. always very of the me as i see it comparing an entire gender to a dog could be taken as offensive by both sexes and all those that between and sexually but it does raise an interesting point who the hell are you tube facebook or twitter the platforms for people to chat on express themselves or they censors moral police responsible for how and what you say neither apparently all responsibility is yours and if you violate any of the incredibly vague rules you'll get banned no matter how funny you think it is. these stores are the worst tourists

the head of the u.n. mission in costs of all said the balkan republic's authorities are failing to cooperate properly with an investigation into recent raids by cos of a special police during the operation which officials in the disputed territory say was designed to brick gulp a smuggling ring a un employee was arrested and beaten before being released was cross live now to kill of melbourne for more all this killer this was a situation which was threatening to boil over tell us more about this latest development. well the u.n. security council is holding a session to discuss the fact that u.n. personnel were attacked during kosovo police raids in serbia populated regions now

essentially it's being discussed how kosovo authorities are not really cooperating with the united nations as they try to establish facts about what happened the u.n. mission had in kosovo here to mean he stressed that kosovo authorities have basically violated the mission immunity this is what he said that it had been immunity over staff members or is independent. to be. united the instance. was old school property. and. have been laws and. in new. now tensions flared up on may 28th when the police began launching a special operation under the pretext of working against organized crime in the northern part of the region and at that point we had several people injured in at

least 19 arrested including the u.n. mission chief the u.n. mission staff member mikhail he was beaten up and later hospitalized with a broken cheekbone and an upper jaw and now the russian national long with a un staffer who is a kosovar serb was also injured and arrested during the police raid both were later released with the russian then transferred to belgrade for treatment now the leader of the un recognized kosovo government argues that the russian diplomat hindered a special police operation he was later declared to be persona non grata and his diplomatic status to be later revoked now at this point we have different voices in kosovo calling for the un mission to leave saying it no longer has a purpose in the country this is what one political figure said. while we are

deeply grateful to unmake for the vital role that it has played in the furnace of our liberation we simply do not see any teasin for its continued presence in our thriving republic. is not the peacekeeping mission because kosovo law enforcement mechanisms and key for guarantee the safety and security of our people. now the u.n. mission in kosovo functions essentially to ensure the free flow of civilians between serbia and kosovo and to ensure that tensions do not escalate and that the situation remains calm and people are getting along essentially now the majority of the un security council has at this point called for a hostilities to cease so at this point all eyes are on the security council as the meeting continues. carol thanks very much for bringing us right up to date on that . a political crisis is unfolding in one of europe's more less than

poorest nations moldova's constitutional court has stripped the president of his powers and left its leadership and parliament in limbo a pro democracy rally in the capital is the mounting a snap election and that meter or don't resign it comes as a crisis meeting was held this monday on long officials a general election and failed coalition attempt was seen the former soviet republic tousling with the idea of following aspirations but the new election being tied by the odd going pm could lead to deadlock on a violent backlash here's a look at moldova to this point. 2 presidents no government and one huge miscalculation so how did a major political crisis in moved over develop in just a couple of days it all began when none of the major parties want to majority in february parliamentary elections. today is a very important day today there is

a chance to change the situation in the republic of moldova which unfortunately in the recent years has been a very difficult. the constitution requires a government to be formed within 3 months of the constitutional court certifying the result of the parties were unable to form a coalition 2 of them the pro russian party of socialist moldova and pro european aca melech true bloc managed to hammer out a deal just before the june 8th deadline the newly formed coalition nominated maya sandu as prime minister and moved over in president ego daughter unhappily made the appointment but wait not so fast the constitutional court dissolved the new government claiming they missed the legal deadline by one day that is because the court and coalition counted the 3 month period different. so the cool took the matter into its own hands calling for the dissolution of parliament and temporarily relieving president dawdle of these powers outgoing prime minister pavel phillip

then took over as acting president announcing a snap election perhaps the most fascinating thing is that the e.u. and russia are united in condemning the court's actions it's already been dubbed the worst crisis yet in moved over politics and it looks like things are just beginning to heat up well eastern european politics professor murmuring me thinks that the situation moldova is a goes beyond its borders political struggle which takes into consideration both the little girl and the just the 1st tional court the question so that that alliance which was so differently. and that political fragmentation. of the constitution of quarter has this power in comparison with that one of the images to share and the executive obviously not to be a question of the issue of a situation about the force of some war in the midst of an international crisis as
